The Legendary F Rank

Chapter 19: Long Lost Uncle.

'Nice fit.' Haru thought as he clenched his fist a few times to make sure the ring wouldn't stop him from bending his fingers. 

"Haru! Please come outside sweetheart." A familiar and soothing voice called out from behind the door. 

Li Jun disappeared back into the dragon emperor ring as Haru walked over to open the door. As soon as the door opened he felt two sets of arms around him.

"My poor baby! What happened to you? Are you okay?!" Haru's mother buried her head into his shoulder as his dad hugged him from the other side.

"Uh, what are you both doing here?" Haru asked his parents who had come all the way from Japan overnight just to see him. 

Haru's dad was the first one to break from the hug. "Why are we here?! You went missing on a school trip for a whole night! Of course, we would come to try to find you." Haru looked over to his classmates, who were watching the scene play out from the bottom of the steps.

"Mom, this is a bit embarrassing can you stop hugging me now?" Haru asked as his mom was hanging from his neck.

"No! I'm going to hug my son until he learns not to make his parents worry for him anymore!" She exclaimed before kissing his check almost a million times whilst all of Haru's classmates laughed at him. Except for Mia, who smiled slightly with a hint of sadness. After about twenty minutes, Haru's mom finally let go of him.

"Krista. Do you know what that son of yours did to me!?" The old man from earlier walked up and jabbed his finger into Haru's chest. 

Haru's mom pushed his hand away before speaking. "If you touch my son again I will do much more than he could even think about doing to you. Now go back home you disgrace." She said as a ring of fire formed around her hand.

"How dare you talk to your father like that!" The old man said outraged. Krista sighed in disbelief. "You are not even my father. Maybe you acted like it when you got married to my mother. But she is dead now. We are no longer related no fuck off back home before I lose my patience with you. The only reason I stopped Luke from killing you at that time is that my mother loved you." The man seemed to be in defeat and walked away whilst being escorted by one of the men in the black suits.

"Mom, who is that guy? I kind of got angry earlier and threw him out of the room... It won't affect you and dad will it?" Haru asked whilst worrying about his parent's safety.

"No of course not darling. He is just the man your grandma married after your grandpa went missing. He is just trying to influence you so he can try to get his hands on your inheritance. He was always like that. After my dad vanished he started coming over and trying to act like our dad. I remember your uncles and I used to play pranks on him by burning his food before he ate." Krista said reminiscing about the past. She seemed to realise something whilst looking at Haru.

"Haha, Your grandpa used to wear a hanfu like that. You look just like him. Why are you dressed like that? Don't tell me you have become a cultivator too?" Krista laughed after making fun of the clothes Haru was wearing. 

"Um, Actually I kind of did become a cultivator" Haru said nervously. Li Jun floated out of the dragon emperor ring and flew over to the sect master and whispered something to him before he disappeared back inside the ring.

"You did what now!" Krista shouted before looking over at Luke who didn't seem to care. "Krista, he is almost a man now. I think he can make his own choices." He tried to explain. 

"He can do what now! Who's side are you on here! You know what this means don't you!?" Krista began shouting at Luke before the sect master came outside.

"You must be Haru's parents? Hello, I am Mo Shen I am the master of this sect. Can I have a word with you too please?" He said before opening the door and holding out his arm asking them to join him. 

Krista and Luke both looked at each other before entering the room with the sect master. Mia, Jake, and Remi all ran up to Haru who was standing confused. "Haru! Is it true!?" Jake asked as they surrounded him.

"What do you mean? Is what true?" Haru asked them before Mia spoke up. "You do know that cultivators aren't allowed to live outside of China? You have to stay here for the rest of your life. You won't be able to come home again!" 

Haru didn't seem to know this information but it's not like he could do much anyway. He didn't really have a choice but to become a cultivator.

"Well I'm sure we can keep in touch with each other can't we?" He asked his group of friends in front of him. Before any of them could reply Haru's mother came running out crying. "My poor boy! Why didn't you tell me what you went through? You should have told us right away!" Krista hugged Haru once again as his father came out still talking to the sect master.

"So in order to survive, he had to give up on magic and become a cultivator?" Luke asked the sect master. 

"Yeah, that is the general idea. Frozen Qi from the water poisoned his body when he fell in the pool, I didn't want to force his opinion so I told him what would happen if he didn't become a cultivator. But I guess your son isn't ready to die yet." The sect master and Luke laughed together before Luke walked over and hugged Haru again.

"Your mother and I will always be here for you." Haru became slightly embarrassed once again as his friends were stood right next to him as he was being hugged by his parents. 

Krista looked up and spotted Remi. "You look familiar Are you Chizu's daughter? You still remember me don't you?" She said before letting go of Haru. 

Remi looked up at her for a few seconds. "Auntie Krista!" Remi ran up and hugged Krista. Haru was shocked by the sight. He hadn't seen Remi this energetic before. Krista picked her up into the air.

"When did you become my sister?" Miss Fujima walked over towards them. "Chizu. Hey, what has It been? Two years?" Krista asked lightly. Miss Fujima laughed. "Two years? Yeah, you wish. It's been five years. I'm surprised Remi still remembers you." They both laughed before they both hugged each other. 

Haru and his dad stood back and looked at each other. "How come mom never brought her friends home?" Haru asked his dad he jumped at the question.

"You know what your mother is like when she is mad. She was embarrassed by the state of the house with the number of times she has wrecked it. We visited Chizu a lot but remember how every time we asked you to come with us you refused to go?" Luke said whilst looking at Haru. 

"Oh, yeah I forgot about that." Haru laughed before Luke whispered in his ear. "So the blue-haired girl who keeps smiling at you What's her name?" He giggled as he pulled away. Haru looked over at Mia before making eye contact for a second. 

She quickly turned away before Jake walked ever. "Haru you didn't tell me your mother was the Fire Empress."

"The Fire Empress. It's been a while since I have heard that name." Luke said looking back at Jake. 

Jake gulped before talking again. "You You are the Ice Demon of the East!!!" He shouted. Luke laughed. It had been a very long time since someone had recognised him.

"Ice Puppy more like," Krista shouted back over. "Only for you my love." Luke smiled gently toward Krista.

They all talked to each other before Krista and Luke came back over to Haru. 

"Since you can't use magic anymore you will have to drop out of school," Luke said with sympathy. 

Haru smiled back as he knew a new road was just opening up for him. "I know. I will have to live in China from now on won't I?"

"You already know?" Krista asked.

"Yeah, my friends told me." Haru grinned. "I called my brother earlier. He said that he is willing to let you live with him until you are eighteen and then he will help you get into a decent college." Krista said to Haru before a tune rang out from her phone.

She looked down and answered with a smile. "Yeah, I just told him. You better be nice to him or I will beat you far worse than I used to. Okay, I will pass him the phone." Krista laughed before handing the phone to Haru. 

"It's your uncle. He wants to talk to you." She smiled.
